old-new-win32api VS Sourcetrail

Do you have any recommendations?

I assume this is the one you’re talking about https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/

I was curious, went to the end (page 699!) and it’s pretty interesting. But obviously it’s hard to find the important ones.

Not quite. DOS was just the bootloader for Windows 9x.

While Windows 95's kernel didn't have the full feature set of NT, it still was more sophisticated than DOS.

Some registry keys also have The Old New Thing posts by Raymond Chen [1] /s

Lucky you, Raymond Chen did an overview in his blog series "Inside STL". You can view it here: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/

Yes, Raymond Chen describes such fixes in [several blog posts](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/) and in his book The Old New Thing. Check the old posts, back at the beginning. There are posts about to which lengths they went to ensure buggy applications still worked after an update or a fix.

I wish something existed in this space. I used Coati Software's Sourcetrail for a couple of years. Unfortunately it was discontinued. It was a wonderful piece of software that indexed a code repository, and exposed an interface to explore it interactively. At least for me, it significantly improved the understanding and legibility of code.

The code is in an archived state (https://github.com/CoatiSoftware/Sourcetrail). Searching for the software on Google shows some screenshots.

I think it might make large scale code visualization in a similar way to how SourceTrail does it more feasible: https://github.com/CoatiSoftware/Sourcetrail

Yep souecetrail https://github.com/CoatiSoftware/Sourcetrail

I've used https://github.com/CoatiSoftware/Sourcetrail in the past for some bits of the legacy code project I'm on. I also use vim and cscope for day to day navigation but it's harder to get a big picture with those alone.

Sourcetrail?

Does it strive to do what Sourcetrail used to ?

You could always try using Sourcetrail. Unfortunately the open source project is now archived but it should still help you get insights into your code.
